I was permanently logged in for a long time. Then cleared my browser's cache, without making sure I still had my password somewhere. And now I can't log into my old account (thisisreallycomplicated). And the email address I signed up with in 2011 doesn't exist anymore, so the thing for recovering your password doesn't work. Is there any way I can get back in? I tried emailing admin a few times, but didn't get any replies. I'm pretty sure Zandra would recognize me if I called her, but don't want to bother her, unless there isn't any other way. Thanks.

But then I'd forget my password for the password program:) Besides, I don't really trust those things.

That's the only password you'll need to remember though.

KeePass is open source (everybody can check the code) and its password database is just an encrypted file. Even if somebody breaks into your Dropbox or computer, they will not be able to open your password database without the master password.

It's probably ok, especially for something like an allchile password. But even open source can have hidden exploits, that may or may not have been created on purpose. You might remember the linux SSL "Heartbleed" problem (I can't post links yet with this account)

Ok got the email, but will have to fix it when i am not on my cell phone.

The ssl heartbleed fiasco was a badly run open source project. I knew years before something did not smell right about it, and wrapped all my important ssl connections in my own ssh tunnels. I still wrap critical ssl connections in ssh encryption.
